    Yeah, everyone knows that people who have the courage to blow the whistle when they see awful shit, are likely to kill themselves before they can share that information with anyone… Makes complete sense.

        Alright… is there something I don’t know. I was not aware that Aaron Swartz’ death was a Boeing suicide.

          Very similar story to the guy above. I mean, very similar!

            Except Aaron was being prosecuted for pirating open scientific papers. He was being heavily pressured by the FBI and was facing serious fines and jail time.

            It’s less surprising that he took his own life in that situation. I know less about the OpenAI whistleblower, but it seems much more suspicious from here.
